Well no need to worry next season. With Promotion back Sky have decided they want The Championship again until 2021! Just shows the immediate spike in interest just by announcing Promotion & Relegation is coming back. Would like to know how much Sky are paying for the Championship, hopefully it's something and will result in a bigger share of money going to Championship Clubs.

BT Sport were rumored to be competing with SKY for the broadcasting rights which can only be a good thing for the game in general.

Sky deal done and dusted from 2017, including the 2nd tier of the sport from 2015 according to SKY website. www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... 04/9141015?

According to total rl premier have pulled out for 2014 so no tv games if true yippee !!!!!

Gareth Walker has also twittered the same.

So the ONLY place to see Leigh Centurions games in replay is by Leigh Centurions TV so join us now all 1st team games and all the under 20's games we can cover.

I think Premier have missed a trick here.

Think the most watched sports on pay per view are Footie Horse Racing and RL not RU of course which is great to play but incredibly boring to watch.

Had they screened Championship games on Sunday evenings they would have made a few bob via advertising could have paid Championship clubs decent money for broadcasting rights and Championship clubs would have benefited too from attracting Sponsorship.

From a selfish point of view I'm glad i couldn't have gone any away games Monday or Tuesday night due to work .
I want to watch all our games.

How in the world would it benefit our sport if we would have had to go on a Monday night all the way to Yorkshire or Cumbria to watch a game that is reported to be a family sport but is to late to take the kids to watch because of school. So glad this didn't go ahead.

Totally agree, there are no postives what so ever as far as I can see in us playing games on a Monday or Tuesday night just so we can be televised on a channnel no one watches.

Rowley summed up the stupidity behind making part timers play on Monday nights at the last LISA meeting and Tuesday is just daft if you think people are going to turn out then. The moment sky said they were moving the Saturday game to Thursday Premier should have immediately taken Saturday evening, anyone that likes watching RL on telly on Saturday will watch it on premier, more fans would have gone to live games and Premier would have made much more money. Instead they farted around and messed everyone about and have now spat their dummy out because they've lost what they've been getting for free, well so what, it's the most exciting season since they got the rights it's entirely their loss. Hopefully Sky will come in and say "Well we'll show this season if Premier doesn’t want it."

Partially agree with you but not sat/sun evening games i struggle to get back from some games as it is
Enjoyed your comment about RU great to play was that from your time at Grammar School looking down on us Secondary Modern plebs ?

Don't think they made much from advertising judging by the company's that were appearing on there (no disrespect intended to Down Under Leisure and the like), so might not have been worth it given the costs involved in broadcasting the game.

Some sort of weekly highlights on YouTube would be a great little project for one of the RFL media team though.

Does anyone know the number of Premier Sports ?I want to cancel my subscription .

Mines free atm with virgin , when they charge off it goes

More wrong info

this is NOT Premier Sports TV , I have found the number and cancelled it .

Are you involved with this business Frank & touting for new customers?

Iain you could be right .

Did you tell them why Charlie?

Come on do people really think SKY will give us a premier (no pun intended) spot it will either be opposite a wendy ball game or on the thursday or monday nights, remember our game V Widnes a couple of years ago? relegated to the red button because of a tennis game, sorry I have no faith in SKY doing the Championship any favours at all, after all who started the Thursday night games?

It's not the Championship as it was though Fred it will effectively be SL1&2 as of 2015.

I did Ian , and they offered me a reduction in Subs of £3.99 a month , but I stilled cancelled , I hate Canadian Hockey .

SL2 ??????
RFL refer to the 2nd league as the Championship in the statement over the new Sky deal

Good on you mate.

Well i wont be cancelling mine. Every NRL game, all 3 origin games, mid season anzac game, not to mention the auckland nines, at £9.99 a month it really is a bargain for anybody who loves RL.
